STEREOFOUND

A collection of ‘non-music’ and ‘oddities’ on vinyl, found at thrift stores and flea markets. Think of stereo-test records, jingles, sound effects, instructions, spoken word, language courses and, well, basically everything recorded out of the ordinary.

I’m typing this while watching two teams play for the Football World Cup. This record was hidden somewhere in my collection, I’m not much of a football fan but I do support our national team… so this is the perfect moment to share this record with you!

It gives you the highlights from the NOS radio reporting on Oranje’s (= nickname dutch football team) most important matches during the World Cup of 1978 in Argentina.

We (the Dutch) didn’t win the World Cup back then (we never did) but that year was one of the best for our team, winning from Germany and reaching the finals once more but losing from Argentina.
